- The provided table lists examples of common health problems in specific population groups.
Cultural Influences on Healthcare - Reactions to Pain
- Some cultures permit open expression of pain emotions, while others don't.
- Nurses may incorrectly assume that a patient not complaining of pain is not experiencing pain.
